Police in Prince Albert have seized what they believe to be counterfeit Oxycontin 80 pills during a search of a home in the city.

Members of the Prince Albert Integrated Street Enforcement Team (ISET) conducted the search on Monday at 3:40 a.m. under a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant. ISET is made up of officers from the Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) and the RCMP.

Despite the absence of provincial politicians, a grand meeting of Dene people north of La Loche who stake claim to northern trapping areas made big decisions in late January.

The group voted to maintain a camp that’s expanded its presence alongside Highway 955 over the course of several months.

The self-proclaimed “humble” camp of the Northern Dene Trappers Alliance was set up more than 70 days ago and started off as a blockade to keep exploration companies like Cenovus away from what the group considers its traditional hunting and trapping land.
